In construction for many years, Chris has been with Alliant since 2010. He runs the Piping Department at our Eugene office.

What do you like most about your job?
I’ve always enjoyed building things and overcoming challenges; this job doesn’t disappoint. Plus, I get to work with people who push each other to become better at what we do everyday.

Favorite Music?
Country

Last vacation you took?
We just got back from a 7-day cruise to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Jamaica.

Favorite movie of all time?
There are movies other than kid movies?

I played football, basketball, and baseball in high school. Went on to play college baseball for a few years before entering the plumbing apprenticeship. Love college football!

Hobbies?Hunting, fishing, and coaching my kid’s little league sports.

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?A veterinarian and surprisingly enough, even a plumber at one time.

What did you do before you came to Alliant?
Traded S&P 500 futures in the stock market from my home office. I started that adventure in 2006 right before the “Great Recession”; bad timing! I learned a lot about myself during those crazy couple of years on how to handle my emotions to take the next trade.

What do you like most about your job?The people! I really enjoy working with my customers, subcontractors, and coworkers.

Hobbies?
Golf. I frequently play with Andrew in Purchasing and regularly beat him…but who’s counting?

Last vacation you took?Long Beach, CA road trip. The in-laws live there; it’s always a fun nightmare. Married people may know what I’m talking about.

Press Blocks

June 19, 2017

2017. This spring Alliant Systems was awarded the mechanical and plumbing scope for the Press Blocks, a large multi-family project in the Goose Hollow neighborhood of Portland. The project consists of a full block and a ½ block where the Oregonian used to house its printing facilities. The full block will be home to a 23-story multifamily building and a 4-story “Pavilion” building that will be 4 floors of office, ground floor retail, and some live/work units. All of this sits on top of 4 floors of below grade parking. The half block will be an 8-story office building with ground floor retail and a single level of below grade parking. The MEP scope of work is design/build.

Alliant Systems moves to a new location in the Pearl District

May 10, 2016

We are excited to announce that our headquarters office has moved to a new location in the Pearl District. We spent the previous 13 years in Beaverton, where we added space and remodeled twice. But, finally, we needed even more space and we also wanted to be in the thick of it downtown. We’re excited to be here!

Originally built in 1927, our building gives us 20,000 sq. ft. right in the heart of the Pearl. Our location has a walking score of 99, a bike score of 97, and a whole lot of restaurants and other places nearby to go for hazelnut lattes.

Our shop is now located at 12378 NW Amberwood in Hillsboro.

Our Eugene/Springfield office remains at the same address.

Alliant Systems Initiated into the MSCA (Mechanical Service Contractors of America) Greenstar Program

March 17, 2016

In August 2010, Alliant Systems became the 33rd contractor in the country and the only contractor in the Pacific Northwest to gain entry into the MSCA GreenStar Program.

MSCA STAR qualified contractors are more than just committed to excellence. They’re continually devoted to environmental stewardship. MSCA GreenStar is an exclusive designation available only to contractors who have clearly demonstrated environmental responsibility by meeting specific and arduous criteria.

Recognized by the HVAC industry’s top green building resource, the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), MSCA GreenStar was developed to advocate MSCA STAR leadership in sustainable mechanical service.

Alliant Systems was honored to place 11th in the mid-size category of Oregon’s Top 100 Workplaces by the Oregonian.

March 14, 2016

This makes Alliant the NUMBER ONE Mechanical Engineering / Construction / Service firm to work for in the region!

“Receiving this award is especially gratifying because we were chosen by people I greatly respect; our employees,” said John Rozell, Managing Partner. “Having great people tell us this is where they want to work is a real honor, and only strengthens my resolve to be the employer they all deserve.”
